Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, revealed Thursday that she has been suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in disruptive anti-Israel protests on Columbia University’s Morningside campus at which scores of demonstrators were arrested.

“I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide,” the 21-year-old wrote on X.

“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings,” she added.

Hirsi was one of more than 100 protesters who were hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD Thursday afternoon after they erected a tent city on the campus of the $90,000-per-year Ivy League school.

By late afternoon Thursday the protests had dispersed, and cleaning crews were brought in to disassemble and remove dozens of tents that littered the campus.

As the daughter of a controversial and outspoken congresswoman, whose own eyebrow-raising statements have led to accusations of being anti-American and anti-Semitic, Hirsi has spent much of her life attending demonstrations.

She attended her first protest at age six, according to Vice. In 2015, at 12, Hirsi joined her family at a Black Lives Matter protest that forced Mall of America to shut down and required over 200 police officers, including 50 riot cops to restore order.

On Thursday, Hirsi and the two other students – identified as Maryam Iqbal and Soph Dinu — received notice of their suspension from Barnard Dean, Leslie Grinage, the anti-Israel student group Apartheid Divest said in a statement.

First, Biden, then NYC spits in the face of God > What blasphemy, and what Judgment to come?

 

First, Biden tempts God by trumping Easter with Trans Day, now NYC insults Him by declaring the non-existent Allah as Lord of the World. How long, Oh, Lord, will you tolerate such blasphemy?

When you declare someone other than God the Father, or Jesus Christ, as Lord, you are declaring that They are not Lord. You are then in danger of Him removing His hand of protection and leaving you to your own means. I suspect we will soon find out the consequences of that.

New York City Council opens meeting praising Allah as supreme Lord of the world

APR 18, 2024 11:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Celebrate “diversity,” which means that only communism and Islamic supremacism prevail. Such is the state of America under Joe Biden.

Who would have thought, nearly two and a half decades after 9/11, that the New York City Council would be brought to this level of dhimmitude? Imam Abdoulazakou Traore of the Darou Salam Islamic Community Inc. led the Council in prayer beginning with Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Qur’an and most common prayer in Islam. The Fatiha is recited seventeen times a day by the pious, and not only praises Allah as “Lord of the world,” but demonizes Jews as those who have earned Allah’s anger, and Christians as those who have gone astray.

Recall the words of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed:

We will win because Americans don’t realize…we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting….large-scale attacks such as 9/11 were “nice, but not necessary….jihadi-minded brothers would immigrate into the United States” and “wrap themselves in America’s rights and laws” until they were strong enough to rise up and attack us.

It’s progressing, as KSM predicted, under wokeism, and with the further help of wide-open borders, all while the New York City Council hails Allah as “as Lord of the world.”

Unbelievable draconian events in Brussels, the Capitol of European Democracy

 

I could see this happening in Russia, over a hundred years ago, but in Brussels. Astonishing!

The Brussels gangster state The attempt to silence the National Conservatives provided a rare moment of clarity MELANIE PHILLIPS APR 17 The view from behind the door of the Claridge as Brussels police barricaded National Conservatives inside On Monday, I journeyed from Israel to Brussels for the two-day National Conservatism conference where I was due to speak this morning. I travelled from one war zone. I hadn’t expected to be entering another. National Conservatism, a movement underpinned by the thinking of the Israeli-American philosopher Yoram Hazony,  promotes the nation state and the defence of its historic values against the nihilism of the post-moral, anti-western and anti-human ideologies that pass for much progressive thinking. This mainstream position is denounced as “far right” by left-wingers who use this smear to denounce anyone who dares oppose their agenda of destroying the western nation and its historic culture and values. During last year’s National Conservatism conference in London, left-wingers went nuts about the fact that it was happening at all.   This year’s conference in Brussels produced meltdown before participants even started gathering in the Belgian capital. This was because speakers included some of the cartoon Hitlers of the feverish liberal imagination: Reform party president Nigel Farage, former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, representatives of “populist” parties such as the Flemish nationalists Vlaams Belang, the French anti-Islamist firebrand Éric Zemmour — and Satan’s granddaddy himself, the Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.  Journalists who routinely smear people as “far-right” or “hard-right,” rather as if they use voodoo dolls to ward off any challenge to the purity of their partisan hatreds, deployed their familiar tactics of character assassination and guilt by association to call in advance for this “far-right” conference to be shut down.   Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, has become ground zero of the totalitarian leftism that the NatCons fight. They therefore knew they would be gathering in the very belly of the anti-western, anti-nation state beast. But no-one could have predicted what actually then happened. Bowing to left-wing protests, a Socialist Party Brussels mayor, Philippe Close  — who last year invited Tehran mayor Alireza Zakani, a member of Iran's tyrannical Islamist regime, for an official visit — pressured the NatCons’ venue, Concert Noble, to cancel the event. Concert Noble, a high-end event space, duly caved. Undaunted, the conference organisers secured a second venue at the Sofitel hotel. Late on Monday, Sofitel also cancelled after a second Brussels mayor, Vincent de Wolf, applied the thumbscrews. Sofitel duly sought police help to eject the conference organisers from its premises hours before the conference was due to start. The conference organisers went to court to seek an injunction against Sofitel. The judge threw that out. Hundreds of people were arriving in Brussels for a conference that had nowhere to meet.  With remarkable persistence and determination, the organisers located a third conference venue, a nightclub called Claridge. They worked most of Monday night setting up from scratch all the equipment, food and other supplies necessary for a two-day conference. By the time the conference registration opened at 8 am on Tuesday morning, it was all up and running — a formidable achievement.  This was, however, far from the end of the story. For yet another Socialist Party Brussels mayor, Emir Kir, issued an order  to shut down the conference. His reasons were  that [NatCon’s] vision is not only ethically conservative (e.g. hostility to the legalisation of abortion, same-sex unions, etc.) but also focused on the defence of “national sovereignty”, which implies, amongst other things, a “Eurosceptic” attitude… He also said that some of the speakers “are reputed to be traditionalists” and that the conference must be banned “to avoid foreseeable attacks on public order and peace”.  Mayor Kir, a man of Turkish origin who reportedly supports the Islamist president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, then got to work using mafia-style tactics to get the conference shut down.  After his order was issued, three police officers turned up at the back of the hall demanding a shutdown with “immediate effect” on the grounds that the opinions of Farage, Braverman and other speakers could lead to public disorder. When the TV cameras swivelled round to film the police, however, they beat a retreat outside, doubtless aware that being seen to shut down prominent European politicians wouldn’t be a good look.  In the negotiation that followed, the police said they would shut the conference down only “gradually”. What that meant was that they wouldn’t storm the venue to throw everyone out, but they wouldn’t let anyone in and if anyone left they wouldn't be allowed back.  The mayor’s lackeys repeatedly threatened the Tunisian-Belgian owner of the Claridge, Lassaad Ben Yaghlane, to force him to cancel the conference. They towed away his car, threatened his family and said they would take away the venue’s licence to put him out of business. They forced the  company providing security for the conference to cancel its contract. They did the same to the companies providing catering services such as crockery or food. They threatened to cut off the venue’s electricity.  With remarkable courage, however, Ben Yaghlane stood his ground, getting increasingly angry as the threats mounted against him and his family. The reason he lives in Brussels rather than Tunisia, he said, was because he valued the freedom to argue rather than resort to violence. He told the media:  I am open to discussion. These are not the people I normally share the same values with. But I prefer to debate, even if it is [with] Vlaams Belang. What a hero. So, barricaded into the Claridge with limited food and drink and apparently no plates or cups, on the conference went. A wartime spirit prevailed. Guest speakers were smuggled in through a back entrance; the Conservative MP Miriam Cates donned a headscarf as disguise. Somehow, the heroic catering staff rustled up reception-style food to keep everyone in the hall going. The schedule was hastily reorganised to get the principal speakers on stage fast in case the police decided to shut the conference down altogether. Down the road several police vans were parked, waiting. The whole thing could have been specially choreographed for Nigel Farage, the man who had warned for years about the threat to democracy posed by the EU and its Brussels bureaucracy. He duly bounced round the stage milking every moment, observing that the behaviour of the mayors and police had now revealed to the world that Brussels was indeed the epicentre of illiberalism. The authorities’ actions against the Claridge showed that “legally held opinions from people who are going to win national elections” were “no longer acceptable in Brussels, the home of globalism. This is cancel culture in a very, very big way,” he said. Next, on came Suella Braverman who spoke about the need for the UK to withdraw from the European Convention of Human Rights. She added:  The thought police instructed by the mayor of Brussels saw fit to try and undermine and denigrate what is free speech and free debate. What really concerns me is that, only last year, the mayor of Brussels was happy to host the mayor of Tehran. And yet he seems to be pretty offended by democratically elected politicians, people from all over the European continent, who are giving voice to millions of people talking about things like securing our borders. Other supposedly terrifying topics discussed by the speakers were EU overreach, farmers’ protests, the failing birthrate and the pressures of mass immigration. Another speaker, German Cardinal Ludwig Müller, was visibly shocked by the police blocking the entrance to the Claridge when he arrived. “This is like Nazi Germany,” he said. “They are like the SA.” What was originally a small conference of no great interest to anyone beyond a few thousand political nerds was now creating waves across the world. Country after country voiced shock and outrage about the way it had been treated. Britain’s prime minister, Rishi Sunak, called the attempt to shut down the conference “extremely disturbing”. The events at the Claridge were trending on Twitter. It was publicity for National Conservatism beyond its supporters’ wildest dreams.  But would the conference go ahead on the second day, featuring the appearance by the Dark Lord himself, Hungary’s prime minister Orbán? At the door to the Claridge the police, who seemed uneasy about their role, said they wouldn’t lock in participants until 10 am. If they arrived before then, the police would turn a blind eye.   However, on Tuesday afternoon Belgium’s prime minster Alexander De Croo, a centre-right opponent of the Socialist Party, expressed his displeasure. In a post on social media, he said that what had happened was “unacceptable”. He wrote: Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional.Full stop. The police at the door started melting away. Hopes rose. Had the Belgian prime minister’s intervention defused the crisis?  No. Mayor Kir promptly doubled down and instructed the policer to allow absolutely no-one into the conference on Wednesday at any time at all. For a second time, the conference organisers went to court to get the order quashed. Once again, the court batted them away.  With the second day of the conference now only a few hours away, a fourth venue was proving impossible to find. In desperation, the organisers decided that, if it came to it, all the conference participants would just turn up early and attempt to get into the Claridge, hoping that the police wouldn’t relish TV footage being beamed round the world of the Brussels police manhandling hundreds of very unthreatening people with traditional views. Meanwhile, the NatCons’ lawyers filed a plea to a more senior court, in a final attempt to get some sense out of the Brussels judiciary. At 2 am on Wednesday morning, that court ruled against the mayor.  The barricade was lifted. The conference could go ahead as planned. And I delivered my own presentation, which I’ll post up on this website as soon as the video becomes available, As Yoram Hazony told the conference while we were all barricaded into the Claridge: There are new rules for democracy: stop the other guy from speaking. We can’t expect basic decency or any kind of grace from our opponents… We want the possibility of controlling our own borders, controlling the immigration system, controlling our own budgets. There are not extraordinary things to demand… But our adversaries find us so frightening, so threatening, they can’t even possibly allow us to speak, not even once when we turn up in Brussels, so frightening is the idea of National Conservatism.  We don’t know whether we're going to win this time, but we do know we’re going to win. We know because we’re asking for decent democratic things, the inheritance of our forefathers and foremothers. It’s not much to ask. It’s the right thing to ask and it will triumph in the end of what we may have to describe soon as the former democracy. And what was the reaction to this thuggery of those supposed British champions of the decent middle ground, Sir Keir Starmer’s new model Labour party? While the conference was barricaded into the Claridge by the police, Labour’s health spokesman Wes Streeting said in the Commons of Suella Braverman, to guffaws and general hilarity from the Labour front benches, that she  couldn’t be with us today because she’s currently in Brussels surrounded by the police who are trying to shut down the event she’s attending with some other far-right fanatics with whom she has much in common.  That’s what the new model Labour party thinks about sending in the police to shut down a legitimate political gathering. It defames the victims of the tactics of a dictatorship while laughing at their plight. What happened in Brussels was a moment of rare clarity. At a stroke, the people who smear conservatives as intolerant, oppressive and a threat to democracy were shown that it is in fact they who are intolerant, oppressive and a threat to democracy —indeed, they present a chilling threat to freedom in the style of the former Soviet Union or Chinese Communist Party. National Conservatism is now revealed as the resistance.  You really couldn’t make this up. A big hand for those Brussels mayors who have scored such a spectacular own goal for their side.

Nearly 50 died by suicide since Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, survivor claims

Nearly 50 traumatized revelers who survived the Hamas attack on the Nova music festival in Israel have died by suicide in the last six months because they were unable to cope with the tragedy, a survivor revealed Tuesday.

“Few people know, but there have been almost 50 suicides among the Nova survivors. This number, which was true two months ago, may have increased since,” Nova festival survivor Guy Ben Shimon told a parliamentary hearing for a State Audit Commission on the treatment of the Oct. 7 survivors.

He said many of his friends who escaped the massacre could not recover from what they had witnessed, I24NEWS reported.

“There are many survivors who had to be forcibly hospitalized due to their psychological state. My friends are not getting out of bed, neither am I,” he said in Hebrew.

"I am practically unable to do anything. I had to get a dog to help me survive in my daily life. The goal for all of us is to return to work and function normally, but we cannot do it without adequate help,” Ben Shimon added.

The hearing focused on alleged failures by state entities toward the survivors of the Hamas attack on the Jewish state.

Complaints have been made about a variety of difficulties, mostly bureaucratic, that the survivors faced in getting their post-traumatic stress disorder recognized and treated, according to the outlet.

“Why should I constantly prove what I experienced? Why am I forced to go back to the details of what I experienced for them to believe me?” another survivor, Naama Eitan, told the hearing.

“I participated in a study that monitored my pulse and other parameters and revealed how bad my health is. I sleep on average two hours a night. Each morning at 7 o’clock, I relive the moments when I was hidden in the bushes with terrorists passing by me. I can no longer move on my own, I need to be constantly accompanied,” she said.

The Israeli Ministry of Health said it does not have information to corroborate the claim about the suicides.

During the attack, 364 people were slaughtered at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev desert. Some 600,000 Israelis have been waiting for psychological support since Oc. 7, i24NEWS reported, citing recent studies.
